Brazil's Superior Tribunal of Sports Justice has opened disciplinary proceedings against Neymar, who was sent off at half-time in the match against Bahia, which ended 1-1 and counted for the Brasileirão. The Santos player was dismissed for covering his mouth with a hand during an exchange with Rodrigo Nestor, a gesture covered by the so-called Prestianni law.

After the game he said: “I gave an idiot the chance to get noticed,” referring to Nestor, who he claims tried to take advantage of the anti-racism rule.
